Deadwood Park

2007 · 117 min

A grim, slow-burning haunt through childhood trauma and abandoned places, more oppressive than scary.

Tagline
"When I looked for good, then evil came unto me; And when I waited for light, there came darkness." Job 30:26
Overview
In 1979, Jake Richardson’s twin brother was the last victim in a 35-year string of child murders. Now, the dead children’s spirits haunt Jake, leading him to the site of a long-abandoned amusement park to solve the mystery of the killer’s identity.
